The pan underlying the AC unit (Penguin, 11000Btu) on our 2006 Bambi 19' is cracked and leaking. I plan to replace it with the Dometic drip cup system and contacted Airstream to get the correct parts. They provided the part numbers (203772 gasket kit and 203724 drip cups) which I ordered from the AS dealer in Tucson.
Yesterday the parts arrived, but the gasket kit does not look right given the directions that Dometic provides for this conversion and the pics I have seen on this forum. The gasket kit arrived unwrapped and without any identifying label. Lazydays, the dealer, is no help since parts are ordered through the accessory store and the clerks there have little knowledge of what parts should look like. I've contact AS, but no response as yet.
Has anyone purchased this gasket? Does it look like this? As a point of reference, the long pieces are 14.25" long.
I think I figured it out. The outside perimeter of the kit is actually the main gasket around the 14" x 14" hole for the AC unit. There are holes on the side for the drip cups. The other parts make up the second layer that is needed to give clearance to the cups. See attached.
The only question I have is why there are holes in the short pieces?

Just got my Dometic 15k Blizzard NXT in.
Wondering if I needed a gasket kit and this thread is hugely useful.
Looks like the gaskets are already laid in on a new A/C unit. I would presume that a gasket kit is useful for someone reinstalling an existing A/C unit.
Now what I don't have is the condensations cups. Going to have to order that, to replace what's like a tray on my '07 27FB.
